Book I, 92: In Caesarea in the Church of St. Basil
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Where Christ once slept on the ship a natural sleep, the sea was disturbed by stormy winds, and the sailors cried out in fear, “Wake, Saviour, and help us who are perishing.”” Then the Lord arose and bade the winds and waves be still, and it was so; and by the miracle those present understood His divine nature.
